Don't Throw Out that Tofu

You've stored tofu in water as recommended. The tofu is older than the expiration date. You look at the tofu and notice pink edges. Those pink edges are a sign of the tofu getting old. Don't throw it away..yet. Here's a helpful suggestion...

Tofu manufacturers will say to cut off the edges and parboil the remaining tofu for 30 seconds. That revives it. I've tried that and it works.

I also have cut off the edges and simply used the remaining tofu. That works equally well. Plus, it saves time.

The choice is yours. And, by the way...you can purchase tofu on the expiration date and still have it be usable for a week. Usually, stores mark down tofu near the expiration date to get rid of it. I've picked it up for $.50. Not bad for a good protein source.

Just make certain to change the water daily.
